—————–

Webinar “Exchange of Experiences and New Funding Opportunities” held on 28 September 2023

SOLAR-ERA.NET and CSP-ERANET co-organised the webinar sharing experiences and opportunities in transnational projects. The presentations covered 25 projects – 19 projects supported within SOLAR-ERA.NET and 6 projects supported within CSP-ERANET.

 

The goals of this webinar were:

  • To exchange and highlight results and
  • To share experience and to identify critical / success factors for transnational projects in both ERANETs scheme and future funding opportunities.
  • To understand the future co-funded opportunities within the sector.

 

Target audience:

  • Participants in transnational SOLAR-ERA.NET Cofund 2 and CSP ERANET
  • Representatives from SOLAR-ERA.NET Cofund 2 and CSP ERANET funding
  • Persons and organisations from industry and research interested in transnational project collaboration in the area of solar power
